Career Changed Dog Adoption General Information and

Preadoption Form

This form is for adopting a dog or puppy as a pet

Introduction

Please complete the following questionnaire if you are interested in adopting a Circle Tail dog/pup. Answer all questions to help us ensure that you and your companion are a good match. Our goal is to ensure a happy and successful transition of your pet into their new home. Please read the "adoption information and agreement" that follows the questions and submit the form to Circle Tail.

Note that most of our dogs are not housed at Circle Tail -- they are in one of the Ohio correctional institutions with whom we work learning house training and basic obedience. Once you and your adoption counselor have decided on an appropriate dog for you/your family, an appointment to meet the dog will be scheduled.

Is it ok to conduct a scheduled home visit before the adoption takes place?
Yes
No

By indicating my interest to adopt this animal and submitting this form, I understand and agree to the following:

I am adopting a career changed dog as a pet and acknowledge that this dog cannot be used as a working service dog.

I will keep this dog in accordance with local regulations. I will have him/her licensed within 30 days and then yearly.

I will provide this dog with proper shelter, adequate food and water, and medical care to maintain his/her health and well-being. This dog will reside indoors. I will be personally responsible for the humane care of this dog.

I will establish a schedule of preventative and routine medical care with a veterinarian.

I will obtain immediate veterinarian care if the dog becomes sick or injured.

I have been advised to take my new dog to the veterinarian within 7 days of adoption at my expense. I understand that all additional vet care following adoption is my financial responsibility.

If the dog proves to be in such poor health that major treatment is necessary within the first 2 weeks, I may return the dog for a refund of the adoption fee or proceed with the treatment at my own expense.

If I can no longer care for this dog, I will consult Circle Tail about alternative placement.

This dog will not be used for any experimental purposes.

A representative from Circle Tail may visit the dog with prior notice. If not satisfied with the dog’s living conditions or appearance, Circle Tail may reclaim the dog.

Within 2 weeks of the original adoption date, this dog may be returned to Circle Tail for any reason and the adoption fee will be refunded.

I agree to assume full legal and financial responsibility for any property damages or personal injury caused by the dog after the adoption and to indemnify and hold Circle Tail harmless from any liability with respect thereto.

Circle Tail, Inc. reserves the right to resume ownership of the dog if the above conditions are not met.
